letters to dogs on trucks jr.

is it true that you have created a mighty treadmill to ease the frustrations of a fretful airplane bound person who is suffering from Acute Crap Product Syndrome?

Sincerely, Rhonda.

dear Rhonda,
Sort of. However I do not know if the treadmill works in an airplane.
Oops! I need to help the next person in line.
Thanks for writing, Rhonda! Stay curious!

sincerely,

Dogs on Trucks Jr.

dear dogs on trucks jr. how do you adjust the amplification for the dogs on trucks radio?

sincerely, Patsy

Dear Patsy,

before you go adjusting those dials, make sure you know that the dogs on trucks amplification dial can only be turned up. It can't be turned back down once you hit it.

to turn up the volume on the Dogs on Trucks radio, hit volume control and cycle once through the loop. This will help you build up enough static energy to amplify the dogs on trucks loop a bit.

thanks for reading, Patsy! Stay Curious!

Sincerely,

Dogs on Trucks Jr.

a slashdot post dec 1

Posted by CmdrTaco

PlayfullyClever writes "A senior telecommunications executive at BellSouth, said yesterday that Internet service providers should be allowed to strike deals to give certain Web sites or services priority in reaching computer users, a controversial system that would significantly change how the Internet operates...William L. Smith, chief technology officer for Atlanta-based BellSouth Corp., told reporters and analysts that an Internet service provider such as his firm should be able, for example, to charge Yahoo Inc. for the opportunity to have its search site load faster than that of Google Inc." Next up, well dressed men go door to door collecting their monthly "protection money". 'It sure would be tragic if your users started getting 1500ms ping times, wouldn't it mister dot com?'

tech news for november 27, 2005 - Japanese scientists have discovered a cheaper way to make biodiesel from vegetable oil, according to this slashdot post from ScuttleMonkey on Saturday November 26, @06:31pm -

MGR writes "National Geographic is reporting that Japanese scientists have discovered a way to convert vegetable oil into biodiesel with a much less expensive catalyst (between 10 and 50 times cheaper) than what is currently used. From the article: 'Any vegetable oil can become fuel, but not until its fatty acids are converted to chemical compounds known as esters. Currently the acids used to convert the fatty acids are prohibitively expensive. Michikazu Hara, of the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Yokohama, Japan, and his colleagues have used common, inexpensive sugars to form a recyclable solid acid that does the job on the cheap.'"
